Good gawd. You guys have Acid Rain out there or something? I know you take care of your rides so I assume this wasn't from neglect on your part? Maybe BMW only applies .00001 mm of clearcoat to keep the weight down?

When I got the car, there was a thin spot on the hood (see that silver patch on the before?) that, after a couple of months, grew in size. Went down to black primer. Buddy offered to throw some vinyl over it for free, some cheap + shitty + very thick carbon fiber. He actually wanted me to sand the entire hood, I only did a few spots. While he was applying it, some of the paint lifted, leaving massive bubbles. Ripped the vinyl off, a bunch of the paint came off with it........

Don't know if shitty paint is a common thing w/ BMW's of this era or in general...
